{ STREETZ MORNING TAKEOVER } Lyft driver says she was drugged and nearly kidnapped by two men

An Atlanta Lyft driver said she was drugged and nearly abducted by two men but was able to keep her wits about her and get away. 

She wants to make sure that others are not taken advantage of by what some people have called the “world’s most dangerous drug.”

A rideshare driver picked up two men and began driving, but suddenly, she said she started to feel light-headed and short of breath.  After opening the car’s windows, she began to feel better, but after closing them, the symptoms returned. 

Thinking quickly, the driver opened all four of the car’s windows as well as the sunroof and hit her emergency button — which automatically dials 911 and alerts the Lyft dispatcher.

In her letter to 11Alive News, the driver said that she suspected that the men she had picked up were somehow involved in the incident.

While she tried to talk to the 911 dispatcher, she said that she realized that her speech was becoming slurred. She said the men began to try to talk over her, telling her what to do.

She said that the men tried to tell her to pull the car over, but she continued to drive. She said the men actually tried to wrestle the wheel from her, but she said she continued to drive and maintain control of the car, finally pulling over at a Pilot gas station
